AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS
Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Steps:
- Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
- In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Drain raisins.
- Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
- Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
- Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
- I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
- Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

RAISIN TARTS
This is my big sister, Cookie's, recipe which when she made them tasted like heaven! She gave me the recipe and I made them for the first time today and WOW they tasted as good as Cookie's and oh so so easy!! She uses already made rich pie dough from the freezer case at the supermarket, but since I live out of country where they don't have such things, I just made my regular Crisco pie crust recipe. I needed to make 1 and 1/2 times the amount to make enough for my rubbermaid mini-cupcake/tart pan, then I had a little dough left over for sprinkling sugar & cinnamon on it and baking, which was fine for my DH ;o) The new rubbermaid tart pan made it IMPOSSIBLE for the tarts to fall apart when getting them out of the pan. Wonderful. Try these rich tasting tarts, you won't be dissapointed!!

APPLE RAISIN TART

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Crust: Combine the butter, flour and salt in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like grated Parmesan. Drizzle in half of the ice water and pulse until the mixture forms a rough ball, adding the remaining water if needed. Remove the dough from the food processor, form it into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Filling: Cook's Note: Enough for 2 tarts. It's easier to make a larger quantity and it will last in the refrigerator for months.)
- In a small saucepan melt the butter and cook it until it starts to brown and begins to smell like hazelnuts. Transfer the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle, then add the sugar and beat together on a medium speed. Gradually add the flour. Once the flour is incorporated, add the eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in the vanilla bean seeds.
- Apples: In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples and sugar and cook until they start to soften, about 6 to 7 minutes. Pull the pan off the burner and add the brandy. Return to the fire and flambe, if desired, or just let the alcohol burn off. Toss in the raisins and reserve.
- Assembly: Remove the dough from the refrigerator 15 minutes before ready to use, this will allow the dough to soften and come to room temperature.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness and lay it into a 9-inch tart pan with lots of overhang on the sides. Schmear half of the filling into the bottom of the tart pan and top with the apple mixture. Fold the dough overhang over the top of the apples. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Refrigerate the other half of the filling for another use.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven, cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- Combine golden and dark raisins in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak 15 minutes. Drain, and return raisins to bowl. Add sugar, flour, and lemon zest and juice; stir to combine, and set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully drape over a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Working quickly, roll out remaining pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Use a ruler to measure a 9-inch circle in center, and mark lightly without cutting through dough. With a 1/2-inch round cutter, cut holes within the marked circle about 1 inch apart.
- Fill prepared tart pan with raisin mixture. Using a pastry brush, gently brush edge of dough in tart pan with water, and top with perforated dough, making sure to center it. Using kitchen shears, trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press doughs together to seal. Using a rolling pin, roll over top of tart, flush with rim, and remove dough scraps. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees with rack placed in lower third of oven. Whisk together egg yolk and cream in a small bowl. Brush sparingly onto tart and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Place tart on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, and bake until dark golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. (If tart browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.) Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
